The Werther by Massenet is presented in wide co-production between Opera Lombardy and the theaters of Modena, Reggio Emilia, Ferrara and Pisa. Inspired by Goethe's novel The Sorrows of Young Werther , it tells the tragic love affair between the protagonist and Charlotte. Due to an oath made to her mother on her deathbed, the young woman decides to give up Werther in favor of Albert. Despair will lead the protagonist to suicide, not before seeing his beloved one last time. Romantic lyric drama, therefore, that the director Stefano Vizioli reads with a minimalist but precise direction: "With the set designer Emanuele Sinisi we imagined a large white sheet crumpled up by a nervous hand - he explains - a sheet that sometimes contains words that are composed and broken down, stained by an ink that drains, becomes tear or blood, a scenographic attempt to relate to the epistolary style of the source original German ".

Massenet "overturns what by definition is opera writing", explains the conductor Francesco Pasqualetti, who directs the Italian Opera Philharmonic Bruno Bartoletti: "It is as if the orchestra said or sang what with the voice it is no longer allowed to say. What cannot be said verbally.
It is a melody that comes from inside, from below, from a hidden place like an orchestra pit, hidden like in the soul ». And it is precisely the orchestra that reminds us how young Werther's final destination is not heaven, but the damnation of hell.
